SUMMARY: On May 1, 2007, Scott Blaising, counsel for California Municipal
Utilities Association (CMUA), met with Karen Shea, advisor to Cmmr. Simon in
San Francisco. Blaising commented on the proposed decision (PD) relating to
cost responsibility surcharge (CRS) exemption protocols for certain new
Municipal Departing Load (MDL) customers. Blaising expressed concern that the
PD could be construed as saying that CRS exemptions will automatically apply to
certain MDL customers and noted that such a conclusion would be wrong. Blaising
noted that CMUA proposed changes to the PD to resolve the ambiguity. Contact

On February 27, 2007, Scott Blaising, counsel for California Municipal
Utilities Association (CMUA), met with Rami Kahlon, advisor to Pres. Peevey in
San Francisco. Blaising stated that CMUA is opposed to Pacific Gas and
Electric Company's (PG&E) request in its petition to modify Decision 06-07-030
that the Commission disallow the use of netting to offset a "negative"
indifference rate against a "positive" indifference rate. Blaising noted that
PG&E's request is inconsistent with D.06-07-030, contrary to numerous other
Commission's decisions, principally D.05-12-045, and should not be allowed.
Blaising discussed the issue of negative and positive Indifference Rate.

On February 6, 2007, Scott Blaising, counsel for Power and Water Resources
Pooling Authority (PWRPA), met with Rami Kahlon, advisor to President Peevey in
San Francisco. Written materials (attached to the notice) were used. Blaising
stated that PWRPA is opposed to Pacific Gas and Electric Company's (PG&E) rate
proposal in its petition to modify Decision 06-07-030. Blaising stated that the
issue presented by PG&E's petition is the same issue that PWRPA protested in
response to PG&E's Advice Letter 2835-E. Blaising emphasized that the
Department of Water Resources (DWR) Power Charge should not be determined as
proposed by PG&E, but should be determined based on the actual accrued costs.
Blaising urged the Commission to reject PG&E's proposal and instead base the
DWR Power Charge on actual accrued costs.

advisor to Cmmr. Brown. Also participating were Andrew Campbell, advisor to
Cmmr. Chong, Joy Warren, Senior Staff Attorney, for the Modesto Irrigation
District, Jem Brown, Assistant General Manager, Energy Resources, Business and
Resource Planning, Merced Irrigation District and Dan Carroll, counsel for
Merced and Modesto Irrigation Districts. The parties discussed draft resolution
E-3999 (draft resolution). Berlin emphasized that the publicly owned utilities
(POUs) are looking for resolution of the billing and collection issue, but want
to insure that what is finally adopted is both legal and practicable. Carroll
commended the draft resolution's conclusion that Pacific Gas and Electric
Company could not terminate natural gas service to POU customers that may fail
to pay the cost responsibility surcharge. Carroll and Warren explained why the
draft resolution fails to properly address a "New Party" or "Change of Party".
Carroll also noted that the draft resolution should be clarified to address the
fact that customer usage information is not the property of the POU.

representatives also stated its opinion that the draft decision should not be
modified to allow negative indifference amounts occurring after the CRS
under-collection is repaid to offset other components of the CRS, such as the
Department of Water Resources bond charge.

Consumers Association (CLECA), met with Robert Lane, advisor to Cmmr. Bohn, at
Max's Diner in San Francisco. Also present was Steve McClary, consultant to the
Alliance for Retain Energy Markets (AReM). Booth and McClary discussed the
joint recommendation of CLECA and AReM, and Southern California Edison Company
(SCE) and the California Manufacturers and Technology Association. Booth stated
that these parties had come to an agreement regarding several issues pertinent
to the Direct Access Cost Responsibility Surcharge (DA CRS). Booth noted the
dissatisfaction of parties with regard to previous attempts to quantify the DA
CRS. McClary stated that the agreement will result in PG&E's DA CRS
undercollection balance reaching zero on July 1, 2006, and that this will
necessitate a change in the development of the DA CRS charges to its customers;
prospectively, it will assemble each of the DA CRS elements on a bottoms up
basis and will not impose a cap on such charges. Booth noted that the proposal
is also time sensitive for SCE and its customers. Booth and McClary urged that
this matter be processed expeditiously and that the joint proposals on DA CRS
issues be adopted.

Mark Huffman and Roger Goldstein for Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E),
Steve McClary for the Alliance for Retail Energy Markets, and Mike Florio for
The Utility Reform Network. Parties discussed the joint recommendation of these
parties, and Southern California Edison Company (SCE) and the California
Manufacturers and Technology Association (CMTA). Booth stated that parties had
come to an agreement regarding several issues pertinent to the Direct Access
Cost Responsibility Surcharge (DA CRS) and that they had incorporated their
agreement in a joint proposal. Booth noted the dissatisfaction of parties with
regard to previous attempt to quantify the DA CRS components. Booth stated that
the parties in the meeting, as well as SCE and CMTA, have proposed a
modification in the method of determining the indifference fee element. Huffman
noted that the agreement will result in PG&E¿s DA CRS undercollection balance
reaching zero on July 1, 2006, and that it will necessitate a change in the
development of the DA CRS charges to its customers; prospectively, it will
assemble each of the DA CRS elements on a bottoms up basis and will not impose
a cap on such charges. Huffman also discussed the interaction of the
`statutory¿ approach to development of the CTC and the indifference fee, and
noted that a delay in the Commission¿s decision on this matter would complicate
the utility¿s implementation of such charges. Booth noted that the proposal is
also time sensitive for SCE and its customers.

Kaltman, intern, Cmmr. Brown's office, and Mark Huffman, counsel, PG&E. Huffman
suggested that the same treatment recommended in the Working Group report with
respect to direct access (DA) customers be applied to departing load customers.
PG&E also explained that, consistent with the recommendation in the Working
Group Report with respect to DA customers, once the CTC is calculated on a
`bottoms up' basis, then the sum of the ongoing CTC plus the Department of
Water Resources power charge should not be allowed to be negative.

On Mach 9, 2006, Chris Mayer, Assistant General Manager, Planning and
Marketing, Modesto Irrigation District, met with David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr.
Brown, in San Francisco. Also present were Susie Berlin, counsel for Northern
California Power Agency and Turlock Irrigation District, and Jeanne Armstrong,
counsel for South San Joaquin Irrigation District. A copy of the filed comments
of the public owned utilities (POUs) was used. Armstrong discussed the total
portfolio adjustment (TPA) and its application to municipal departing load (DL)
exempt from the Department of Water Resources (DWR) Power Charge, noting that
the TPA was essentially the same as the PCIA recommended for customers not
exempt from the DWR Power Charge. Mayer, Armstrong and Berlin also discussed
the Working Group process noting that the DL parties were not asked to
participate in that process, and further that it was the understanding of the
DL parties that the settlement discussions between the direct access (DA) and
investor-owned utility (IOU) parties would address only DA specific matters.
Berlin addressed the IOU comments regarding the CRS credit for transferred DL
customers that helped to finance the DA CRS undercollections as bundled
customers. Berlin stated that the POU parties do not believe that
administrative complexity should be a bar to crediting customers for components
of the CRS.

to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) has flexibility, and can
accommodate problems that UC Davis has. Kim noted that, given the usage by UC
Davis, there may be substantial evidence that the shorter-term usage by UC
Davis may be more indicative of UC Davis' load.

indicated that the decision should clarify that the 80 MW new load exception is
available to all entities not named in the bypass report, rather than those
that only have new, but no transferred, load. Berlin and Wheatland explained
the nature of the error which would not increase the total megawatts available
for new load exemption, but rather would only address the entities legitimately
eligible to apply for the exemption on behalf of their new load customers.
Berlin and Wheatland explained that clarification and correction were necessary
at this time, in order to avert further confusion in an already complicated
proceeding. Berlin expressed her support for the provisions of the draft
decision that clarify the geographic, rather than megawatt, imitation new load
of entities named in the Bypass Report.

THIS IS AN AUGMENTED NOTICE OF AN EX PARTE COMMUNICATION THAT WAS FILED ON JUNE

Blaising, counsel for the California Municipal Utilities Association (CMUA),
met with Amy Yip-Kikugawa, advisor to Cmmr. Bohn, Julie Fitch, advisor to Cmmr.
Peevey, and David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, in three separate meetings in
San Francisco. For the part of the meeting with David Gamson, also present were
Eric Eisenman and Dennis Keane of Pacific Gas and Electric Company. Written
material (attached to the notice) was used. Blaising commented that the ALJ `s
draft decision (DD) incorrectly addresses the issue of "stand-alone" municipal
departing load (MDL) ("load that does not otherwise require the use of
transmission or distribution facilities owned by the investor-owned utility").
Blaising indicated that the DD claims that there are policy justifications for
treating MDL differently than CGDL in stand-alone situations, however, there
are no policy issues implicated by the stand-alone issue. Rather, Blaising
observed, Public Utilities Code Section 369 provides a strict, definitional
basis for determining stand-alone situations. Blaising also noted that the
Commission must treat MDL and CGDL similarly. At the meeting with David Gamson,
Blaising also stated that PG&E was precluded from raising, yet again, PG&E's
proposal to limit new MDL exemptions for entities named in the PG&E Bypass
Report.

Blaising observed that the `agenda copy' of the ALJ's draft decision (DD) had
been dramatically revised. Blaising referred to the nature of the exemption
given to new Municipal Departing Load (MDL) served by publicly owned utilities
mentioned in Pacific Gas and Electric Company's Bypass Report, and expressed
concern at the revised DD's treatment of this issue. Blaising also expressed
concern with the revised DD's treatment of the 80 MW New MDL exemption.

also noted that PG&E supports the DD by ALJ Pulsifer in R02-01-011 with one
significant exception: PG&E opposes the DD's grant of CMUA's requested
"clarification" regarding new MDL within the geographic region covered by
PG&E's Bypass Report since this element of the DD is inconsistent with the
record, is unlawful, and is bad public policy. Keane noted that the DD assumes
that , because the Department of Water Resources (DWR) did not purchase for
transferred MDL expressly quantified in PG&E's Bypass Report, DWR similarly did
not purchase for unquantified (and potentially unlimited) new MDL in the same
geographic area. Keane explained that since DWR purchased based upon a forecast
that assumed all new load would be served by PG&E, there is no factual basis
for granting any exemption for new MDL. Rubin stated that the arguments of
Modesto and Merced Irrigation Districts, that transferred and new load eligible
for DWR power charge exemptions should also be exempt from the DWR bond charge,
were unsupported by any evidence in the record.

On April 11, 2005, Scott Blaising, counsel for the California Municipal

San Francisco. Also present were Joy Warren, counsel, and Chris Mayer,
Assistant General Manager, for Modesto Irrigation District (Modesto). Ann
Trowbridge, counsel for Merced Irrigation District (Merced), Susie Berlin,
counsel, and Bob Hedrick, Regulatory Counsel, for the Northern California Power
Agency, and Jeanne Armstrong, counsel for South San Joaquin Irrigation District
participated in the meeting via teleconference. Blaising discussed CMUA's
petitions for modification (PMs) seeking clarification of various cost
responsibility surcharge (CRS) issues related to municipal departing load
(MDL). Blaising described the participation by publicly owned utilities in the
billing and collection phase of the proceeding and related procedural concerns.
Warren provided an overview of Modesto and Merced's separate PMs, seeking
confirmation that Pacific Gas and Electric Company's Regulatory Asset Charge
does not apply to new MDL that is exempt from the dedicated rate component.
Warren and Trowbridge also emphasized Modesto and Merced's support for the
conclusion that new MDL located in the geographic areas covered by PG&E's
bypass report is excepted from CRS. Mayer described the difficulty in
addressing billing and collection issues when various issues regarding MDL cost
responsibility remain unresolved. Parties urged the Commission to consider the
pending PMs.

only be for the Department of Water Resources power charge. Rubin stated that
the Commission order should correct the exemption cap amounts. Rubin explained
that PG&E accepts that CRS exemptions are to be granted in situations where a
city like Redding, Roseville, and Lodi annexes an area where it is expanding,
and providing all city services, including electric service. Rubin noted that
PG&E has an obligation to serve all customers, while municipal utilities and

material (attached to the notice) was used. Blaising commented that CMUA
supports a twofold approach for New Municipal Load (NML): a categorical
exemption for NML served by `existing' publicly owned utilities and a limited
(150 MW) cap for NML served by 'new' publicly owned utilities. Blaising also
noted that if the Commission decides to approve an overall cap, a cap of 400 MW
is justified.

Counsel, Tom Sanford, Commissioner for the City of Gridley, and Susie Berlin,

unwarranted exit fees on new municipal load (NML) could severely impact several
smaller NCPA members and urged the Commission to support the exemption for NML
articulated in the alternate of Pres. Peevey. Sanford summarized how the exit
fee would impact the City of Gridley and explained why the conclusions set for
the in the alternate were reasonable in light of the record. Representatives of
NCPA urged the Commission to support the MLD exclusion from the CRS and to
remove the 150 MW cap from the exclusion for publicly owned utilities formed

On November 12, 2004, Steve Boyd, Manager of Communications and Government

Lynch and Manuel Ramirez, advisor to Cmmr. Wood, in two separate meetings in
San Francisco. At the meeting with Cmmr. Lynch also present was Michael
Campbell, advisor to Cmmr. Lynch. Susie Berlin, counsel for Turlock,
participated in both meetings. Boyd gave a brief history of the unique
contractual relationship between Turlock and Pacific Gas and Electric Company
(PG&E). Boyd also noted that Turlock is unique in that it is the only publicly
owned utility that is currently being billed for the CRS by PG&E. Turlock urged
the Commission to support the alternate decision of Cmmr. Peevey, as the
exemption for new municipal load is fully supported by the record. Turlock
pointed out, however, that the alternate should be revised to reflect that the
150 MW cap should not apply to load associated with publicly owned utilities
formed and serving retail load prior to February 1, 2001. Turlock also
explained that it is not responsible for payment of PG&E¿s regulatory asset
refinance.

On November 9, 2004, Susie Berlin, counsel for the Northern California Power
Agency and the Turlock Irrigation District (TID), had a telephone conversation
with David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown. Berlin expressed support for the
alternate decision of Pres. Peevey over both the ALJ proposed decision and
Cmmr. Lynch alternate. Berlin pointed out that new municipal load should be
exempted from any CRS for associated with the Department of Water Resources
costs. Berlin also noted that a cap on the MDL CRS exemption for the load of
publicly owned utilities formed prior to February 1, 2001 was inappropriate.
Berlin also discussed the unique position of TID and explained that TID should
be included on the list of entities eligible for a CRS exception for
transferred load.

Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, and had a telephone conversation with Julie
Fitch, advisor to Pres. Peevey. Written material (attached to the notice) was
subsequently e-mailed to David Gamson and Julie Fitch. Blaising commented that
the ALJ's proposed decision misapprehends the concept of 'reasonableness' in
the context of evaluating a cost responsibility surcharge exemption for New
Municipal Load (NML). Blaising observed that the 'fair share determination'
requires a reasonableness review, and that a call for a reasonableness review
does not equate to an inquiry into the prudency of the investor-owned
utilities' forecasting methodology. Blaising also commented that there is much
record support for a conclusion that NML was implicitly accounted for in the
load forecasts.

San Francisco. Cmmr. Peevey participated in the meeting via videoconference.
Also present were Steve Emerick, General Counsel, and Jeff Shields, Utility
Director, for SSJID. SSJID representatives discussed the proposed decision of
ALJ Pulsifer in the municipal departing load proceeding. Shields explained
SSJID's current position in the electric power market. Shields expressed that
SSJID recognized the inequities in having bundled customers bearing costs that
they did not create when SSJID's constituents depart the Pacific Gas and
Electric Company's system to take electric service from SSJID, but at the same
time SSJID does not believe it fair that its constituents unnecessarily bear
the cost of power procurement for which they received no benefit. Shields noted
that one possible alternative would be to provide the publicly owned utility
the option of assuming an applicable portion of the Department of Water
Resources power portfolio. Armstrong pointed out that a comparable proposal had
been set forth in the proposed decision in R03-10-003 which had been released
on October 29, 2004.

Senior Staff Attorney, met with Manuel Ramirez, advisor to Cmmr. Wood, and
Michael Campbell, advisor to Cmmr. Lynch, in two separate meetings in San

Modesto's support for the treatment of transferred municipal departing load
(MDL) in the proposed decision (PD). Warrant also commented that the Modesto
believes that D03-07-028 provides the correct treatment of new MDL, and that
the PD should be revised to confirm D03-07-028 in this regard. Warrant
suggested that practical considerations would support a clarification to the PD
permitting MDL, either transferred or new load, to be excepted from the CRS
with the amounts established by the Bypass Report.

Julie Fitch, advisor to Pres. Peevey, and Jane Dunn Cirrincione, Assistant

reverses the cost responsibility surcharge (CRS) exemption for new municipal
load adopted in D03-07-028, and sought the Commission's support for an
alternate decision that would correct this error. Berlin noted that the record
evidence in D03-07-028 has not changed. The NCPA representatives also noted
that priority allocation to the entities named in the bypass report should be
limited in order to more fairly distribute the total exemption among all
publicly owned utilities in Pacific Gas and Electric Company's (PG&E) service
territory. Sanford explained how the imposition of the CRS on greenfield load
in small municipalities would cause sever hardships, while the total impact on
PG&E would be de minimus.

met with Cmmr. Brown in San Francisco. Also present was David Gamson, advisor
to Cmmr. Brown. Easter explained that the facts support the view that only a
very small percentage of the state's overall expected load growth over the next
decade will be handled by new publicly-owned utilities. Easter stated that when
the City made its decision to form its public utility there was no way of
knowing that its future customers might be made responsible for any
Commission-imposed surcharges and that imposing such surcharges would
significantly increase the City's utility customers' electricity costs and
therefore could undermine the City's economic development. Easter expressed
concern about the billing and collection that would be required should
surcharges be imposed.

and Marketing, Modesto Irrigation District (Modesto/ID), met with Cmmr. Brown
in San Francisco. Also present were David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, and
other attendees listed on the attachment to the notice. Mayer explained that
some of Modesto's electric customers are located in a joint electric service
area with PG&E. Mayer described load served by Modesto in the joint electric
distribution service area, emphasizing that only a small amount of this load is
attributable to customers that initially received Modesto electric service
after February 1, 2001, most of which are new load customers. Mayer stated
that without a CRS exemption, some of Modesto's customers would have to pay
twice for the same measure of reliable electric service. Mayer stated that the
record now clearly establishes that PG&E did reduce its load forecast for
projected customer departure to Modesto and Merced IDs, and that the California
Department of Water Resources did not purchase power for this load. Mayer
concluded that transferred load exceptions to the MDL CRS should be allocated
to Modesto customers, in addition to the new load exceptions provided in the
Commission's MDL decision.

of Merced ID should not be required to pay for services they do not receive.
Carroll stated that cost shifting is either a myth or inconsequential. As to
transferred load, Carroll stated that PG&E for two years claimed it did not
provide any information about its August 2000 bypass report to the Department
of Water Resources until June 2001, but PG&E had to change its story because
DWR found a smoking gun e-mail that proved PG&E's story was false. Carroll
pointed out that Merced ID's concerns are with both transferred load and
greenfield load and urged the Commission to decide this issue soon.

Description:
On October 15, 2004, Eric Eisenman, Chief, Regulatory Relations, Pacific Gas
and Electric Company (PG&E), met with David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, in
San Francisco. Also present was David Rubin, Director of Service Analysis of
PG&E. Written material (attached to the notice) were used. Eisenman advocated
that no municipal departing load (MDL) be exempted from the customer
responsibility surcharge (CRS) unless it had already departed from PG&E service
prior to February 1, 2001. Rubin discussed the sales forecast provided by PG&E
to the Department of Water Resources (DWR). Rubin stated that the evidence
shows some MDL was included in the forecast and that all of this load was
transferred load. Rubin added that at the time the forecasts were generated in
2001, PG&E was unaware that municipal utilities were attempting to serve new
greenfield load in PG&E's service territory. Rubin argued that for later years,
DWR extended PG&E's MDL forecast at the same cumulative level of demand, and
that DWR did not extrapolate a higher level of MDL.

Eisenman asserted that the cost responsibility surcharge should be applied to
new load located within PG&E's service territory but taking service from
publicly owned utilities. Rubin stated that the Department of Water Resources
(DWR) testified in this proceeding that when DWR procured power on behalf of
all customers in PG&E's service territory, that it did not adjust PG&E's
forecast for publicly-owned utilities reaching into PG&E's territory to serve
new load. Rubin explained that this means power procurement costs were
incurred on behalf of new load locating within PG&E's service territory by DWR,
and that exempting new load from its fair share would burden all other
customers with the associated costs. Rubin noted that PG&E has an obligation
to serve every new customer locating within its service territory and that some
publicly owned utilities behave like a commercial entity and 'cherry-pick'
individual customers.

Written material (attached to the notice) was used. MID representatives
explained that, as a matter of equity, new Greenfield customers of MID should
not be required to pay for services they do not receive, especially when they
are taking power within MID's boundaries. MID representatives explained that
at this point MID's rates remain competitive with PG&E's rates, but that would
be impacted if Greenfield customers are required to pay cost responsibility
surcharges in the neighborhood of two and one half cents per kilowatt hour.
MID representatives also explained that PG&E's activities with respect to
Greenfield customers are clearly for the purpose of fighting competition.

with Pres. Peevey in San Francisco. Also present were Roosevelt Grant, advisor
to Pres. Peevey, and Ken Robbins and Dan L. Carroll, outside counsel to MID.
Written material (attached to the notice) was used. MID representatives
explained that exit fees for greenfields customers are serious issues for MID
and that unlike any other publicly-owned power provider, MED has a nonexclusive
service area that completely overlaps Pacific Gas and Electric Company's
service area. MID representatives explained further the reasons MID became
involved in the retail electric business. MID representatives explained that
MID has undertaken approximately $100,000,000 in debt to build its system,
which was incurred based upon the reasonable assumption that MID would be able
to serve load within its District boundaries without facing issues such as
those posed by exit fees for greenfields customers. MID representatives argued
that as PG&E's rates have dropped while MID's have stayed at their current
level due to MID's own "exit fee" components in its rates, competition is
skewed if MID's greenfield customers must pay PG&E's exit fees for power crisis
costs while also paying for MID's power crisis costs.

participation in upcoming workshops to only the investor-owned utilities since,
according to SCE, the municipal parties have `demonstrated their antipathy? to
implementing the Commission's order. Blaising stated that SCE had grossly

On April 13, 2004, Pamela Easter of the City of Rancho Cucamonga met with Peter
Hanson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, and Brian Prusnek, advisor to Cmmr. Kennedy, in
two separate meetings in San Francisco. At the meeting with Peter Hanson also
present was Julie Fitch, advisor to Pres. Peevey. Tom Breitkreuz, Manager of
Enterprise Services, and Susie Berlin of McCarthy & Berlin, on behalf of the
City of Moreno Valley, Raj Pankhania, Assistant to the City Manager for the
City of Hercules, and Len Viejo of Astrum Utility Services, on behalf of the
Cities of San Marcos and Beaumont, participated in both meetings. The group
discussed issues and concerns related to new municipal departing load and the
customer responsibility surcharge, specifically with regard to the actual
billing and collection of the charge from Greenfield customers that have no
current or past relationship with the incumbent investor owned utility, and the
uncertainty related thereto. The parties asked the Commission to review
possible ways to resolve differences between new municipal utilities and
investor-owned utilities over collection and billing issues.

AUGMENTATION REQUIRED. On April 9, 2004, William H. Booth, counsel for the
California Large Energy Consumers Association (CLECA), met with Cmmr. Brown and
Julie Fitch, advisor to Cmmr. Peevey, in two separate meetings. At the meeting
with Cmmr. Brown also present was David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown. Brett
Guge and Hal Parker of California Steel Industries, Inc. and Michael Jasberg of
Mitsubishi Cement attended both meetings. Booth explained that CLECA has filed
a petition for modification of D03-04-030. Booth stated that D03-04-030 is
clear that self-generation customers that qualify among the initial 3,000 MW of
such load are not responsible for ongoing Department of Water Resources (DWR)
power charges, but that it does not expressly address the question of DWR power
charges during the period before the direct access (DA) customer moves to
self-generation. Guge and Jasberg explained that each of their firms is
actively considering and planning self-generation project. Guge and Jasberg
stated that the inclusion of $5 million to $10 million of CRS undercollection
liability, comprised largely of DWR power charges for historic periods, would
render the projects uneconomic. Booth urged the Commission to consider a
modification of D03-04-030 to clarify any CRS undercollection liability of a DA
customer that moves to self-generation, if any, will not include DWR ongoing
power costs during the period the customer was served with DA service.

: On April 1, 2004, Garith Krause of the Merced Irrigation District (MID) met
with David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, in San Francisco. Also present were
Ken Robbins and Dan L. Carroll, outside counsel to MID. Written materials
(attached to the notice) were used. MID representatives discussed its concerns
with cost responsibility surcharges applicable to municipal departing load.
Among other things, MID representatives also discussed pending legislation, SB
772, and pointed out that under SB 772, the Commission will be required to
determine exit fee issues. MID also pointed out that during the energy crisis,
irrigation districts also were required to address high energy costs and that
MID's customers are paying those costs. MID argued that to require its
customers to pay for PG&E's energy crisis cost is a double burden and unfair.
MID representatives noted that during the energy crisis, while others may have
profited on generation units, MID received the same flat rate it always had.
MID noted that this assisted the State with lower cost power during the energy
crisis. MID representatives emphasized that MID began in the electric supply
business relying upon its California statutory right to sell electricity. MID
stated that it believes the Commission should return to its original decision
from July 2003 with respect to the fashion in which new municipal departing
level will be treated. MID indicated that, ideally, cost responsibility
charges should stay with the meter; therefore, the cost responsibility charges
in PG&E's service territory would stay with PG&E's meters.

On December 12, 2003, Dan L. Carroll, counsel to the Merced Irrigation District
(MID), met with Cmmr. Lynch in San Francisco. Carroll urged the Commission to
stay the course on the issue of whether the Commission may bind future
Commissions if it approves the Proposed Settlement Agreement (PSA). Carroll
stated his view that ALJ Barnett's proposed decision concerning binding future
commissions is precisely correct. Carroll stated further that a decision to
bind future commissions could be vulnerable on appeal and impact the
Commission's credibility. Carroll expressed concern that outcomes in cases
unrelated to the bankruptcy could be attacked by PG&E under the portions of the
PSA requiring the Commission to facilitate and maintain PG&E's investment grade
credit rating. Carroll also expressed concern over Section 2(j), which might
be interpreted to shift the normal burden of proof at the Commission.

and Peter Hanson, advisors to Cmmr. Brown, William Booth, counsel for the
California Large Industrial Customers Association, and Keith McCrea, counsel
for California Manufacturers and Technology Association. Carroll stated MID's
strongly-held view that, in adopting a decision concerning the settlement
between Commission and Pacific Gas and Electric Company, the Commission could
not bind future Commissions. Carroll stated that adopting such a decision
would both be vulnerable on appeal and negatively impact the Commission's
creditability.

On August 28, 2003, Dan Carroll, counsel for the Central Valley Project
Preference Power Post-2004 Implementation Group (CVP Group), met with Julie
Fitch, advisor to Pres. Peevey, in San Francisco. Also present were David
Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, and Stuart Robertson, consultant for CVP Group.
Carroll addressed the draft decision (DD), which grants in part and denies in
part CVP Groups motion for expedited clarification of the scope of issues.
Carroll requested that the DD be held so that there would be time to consider
the CVP Groups motion to reopen and supplement record. Robertson pointed out
that the CVP Group is not trying to avoid costs for which its members should be
liable, and in fact, the CVP Group had agreed that it was proper for certain of
its members to be responsible for the Bond Charge; however, evidence exists
that shows they should not be liable for Department of Water Resources future
contracting costs. With respect to the issue in the DD concerning authority to
collect Cost Responsibility Surcharges from preference power customers, Carroll
stated that Pacific Gas and Electric Company should not be allowed to claim a
right to collect charges which it does not have authority to collect and that
the DD should be revised to recognize that.

THIS IS AN AUGMENTED NOTICE OF AN EX PARTE COMMUNICATION THAT WAS FILED ON July

Reiger, staff counsel, Office of Ratepayer Advocates (ORA), met with Cmmr.
Kennedy in an all-party meeting San Francisco. Also present were Cmmr. Brown,
Brian Prusnek and Ross LaJeunesse, advisors to Cmmr. Kennedy, David Gamson and
Peter Hanson, advisors to Cmmr. Brown, Robert Kinosian, advisor to Cmmr. Lynch,
Manuel Ramirez, advisor to Cmmr. Wood, and other attendees listed on the
attachment to the notice. Reiger stated its views that no clear linkage has
been established between any load forecasts provided to the Department of Water
Resources and the actual contracts signed, and that given the use of public
policy in exempting different types of self-generation projects from various
components of the Cost Responsibility Surcharge (CRS), the Commission should
examine whether or not limited exemptions from CRS for types of departing
municipal load would support the Commission?s overall policy goals.

District (SSJID), met with Cmmr. Wood in San Francisco. Also present were
Manuel Ramirez and Steven Weissman, advisors to Cmmr. Wood, and Chris L.
Kiriakou of Cornerstone Consulting, consultant, and Ann L. Trowbridge, counsel,
for SSJID. Emrick explained why it does not make sense to characterize SSJID
as a new publicly owned utility for Cost Responsibility Surcharge (CRS)
liability purposes. Trowbridge pointed out that there is no evidence in the
record demonstrating that the California Department of Water Resources planned
for, or incurred power purchase costs on behalf of, new load that has never
taken service from an investor-owned utility. Trowbridge noted that,
accordingly, no cost shifting to bundled customers should result if new load in
SSJIDs service area is exempt from CRS.

Blattner stated that SDG&E tariffs are similar in structure to Pacific Gas and
Electric Companys. Blattner suggested that the proposed decision be modified
to apply the same core/noncore allocation separation criteria to SDG&E so as
not to require splitting costumers within a single tariff schedule category.
Blattner also noted that SDG&Es Competition Transition Cost Charges for 2001-02

On July 2, 2003, Mike Ward, Council Member, the City of Irvine (Irvine), met
with Cmmr. Lynch in San Francisco. Also present were Robert Kinosian, advisor
to Cmmr. Lynch, and Judy Vonada, Assistant City Manager, John Phillips, an
energy efficiency consultant, and Jose E. Guzman, Jr., an attorney, for Irvine.
Ward explained that Irvine first authorized the formation of a municipal
electrical utility in 2002, and has proceeded carefully with its due diligence
on the subject since then, expending more than $400,000.00 of public funds.
Ward explained that Irvines municipal utility was not interested in taking any
existing electric customers away from Southern California Edison Company, but
that Irvine would be serving only new customers, primarily in a currently
undeveloped area of Irvine. Vonada stated that Irvine would decide whether to
go forward with a municipal utility by August 2003, and that the time frame for
serving new customers was fall, 2004. Guzman stated that the imposition of
cost responsibility surcharges on new load to be served by Irvine utility would
have a significant adverse impact on Irvines municipal utility and jeopardize
the substantial investment of time and resources Irvine already has invested in
its efforts to form a municipal utility.

municipal utility was not interested in taking any existing electric customers
away from Southern California Edison Company, but that Irvine would be serving
only new customers, primarily in a currently undeveloped area of Irvine. With
respect to cost responsibility surcharges for municipal departing load,
Phillips described the concept of creating an exemption from such charges for a
municipal utility that committed to the use of a significant portion of its
electric service revenues for energy efficiency programs. Irvine
representatives cited its past commitments to energy efficiency initiatives and
stated the Citys willingness to continue spending significant resources from
its municipal utility to continue to advance such programs. Guzman stated that
the imposition of cost responsibility surcharges on new load to be served by
Irvine utility would have a significant adverse impact on Irvines municipal

between any load forecasts provided to the Department of Water Resources and
the actual contracts signed, and that given the use of public policy in
exempting different types of self-generation projects from various components
of the Cost Responsibility Surcharge (CRS), the Commission should examine
whether or not limited exemptions from CRS for types of departing municipal

Leslie Katz, Regional Vice President, and Billy Blattner, CPUC Relations
Manager, for SDG&E, and other attendees listed on the attachment to the notice.
Schavrien stated that SDG&E believes the draft decision treats all customers
fairly and correctly interprets the record, although the Cmmr. Lynch alternate
reaches a similar outcome. Schavrien stated further that the Cmmr. Brown
alternate unfairly shifts costs to bundled customers despite clear evidence
that SDG&E did not reduce growth forecasts to account for the possibility of
Municipal Departing Load (MDL) and that the Department of Water Resources
purchased power to serve load growth thought the state, including MDL.
Schavrien concluded that it is a slippery slope to create extra-record
exemptions to responsibilities for costs that were incurred on behalf of
customers.

advisor to Pres. Peevey. Written material (attached to the notice) was used.
The parties discussed cost responsibility surcharges for municipal departing
load (MDL). Guzman stated that the City supports Cmmr. Browns alternate and
opposes the proposed decision (PD) of ALJ Pulsifer. Ballas stated that the
City has invested over $4 million and countless staff time in planning and
formation of its municipal electric utility. Mrlik stated that if the PD was
adopted, the Citys substantial investment in its electric service would be
severely impaired. The Citys representatives discussed the concept of service
territory as it related to the MDL issue. Guzman stated that an IOUs service
territory is established by franchises but that such franchises are almost
always non-exclusive franchises. Guzman noted that in the case of the City,
the franchise it granted to Southern California Edison Company is a
non-exclusive franchise.

meetings in San Francisco. Also present was Dan L. Carroll, counsel for
Merced. Written material (attached to the notice) was used. Carroll and
Krause expressed Merceds support for Cmmr. Browns alternate addressing the
issue of municipal departing load cost responsibility surcharges (CRS), in
particular, the alternates inclusion of a greenfields exemption from CRS for
new load. Carroll stated that Merced is concerned that the alternate could
leave some unintentional loopholes that could lead to claims that the exemption
does not apply to greenfileds development for Merced. Krause pointed out that
unlike some other publicly owned utilities including irrigation districts,
Merced does not have an exclusive service area. Krause explained that Merceds
boundaries overlap those of Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), such that
Merced has a non-exclusive service area within which it competes with PG&E.
Carroll also addressed the California Municipal Utilities Association
principles and stated that the principles overlook the issues that an
irrigation district such as Merced has because of its non-exclusive service
area. Carroll stated that those principles should undergo more examination.
Carroll then urged that the alternate also be revised to include some capped
exemption to existing load of municipal power providers, including irrigation
districts. Krause noted that Merced customers are also paying energy crisis
costs and that to require Merced customers to pay a CRS on top of bearing
Merceds own energy crisis costs would amount to an unfair double collection.

Stock noted that PG&E supports the proposed decision by ALJ Pulsifer as it
resolves the matter in a way that is fair to all customers. Keane stated that
PG&E opposes the alternate by Cmmr. Brown because it would unfairly shift costs
to customers who remain with the utility.

LATE FILED. On May 6, 2003, Sabrina Chaw, Regulatory Relations, Pacific Gas and
Electric Company (PG&E), met with David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, Aaron
Johnson, advisor to Cmmr. Lynch, and Lynne McGhee, advisor to Cmmr. Kennedy, in
three separate meetings in San Francisco. Also present was Mark Huffman,
Attorney, PG&E. Chaw stated that while the Commission and the Legislature was
still deciding about long-term procurement plans and the impact on direct
access (DA), PG&E believes that the proposed decision (PD) should only be
interim, and not prejudge either the Commission?s or the Legislature's efforts
on long-term plans. Chaw stated that PG&E is recommending a compromise between
the PD and Cmmr. Wood's alternate, specifically, that DA customers be able to
take procurement service from the utility for a 60-day 'safe harbor' in order
to facilitate commercial transactions between DA customers and Energy Service
Providers, but if the customer takes the service longer than 60 days, then the
customer should not be able to return to DA service until the current
suspension of DA is lifted. Regarding the price charged for these safe-harbor
customers, Chaw stated that PG&E recommends that the customers be obligated to
pay the bundled price, unless the short term total cost is higher than the
total generation component of the bundled price, in which case the customer
should pay the short-term total cost.

On May 5, 2003, Bruce Foster, Vice President of Regulatory Operations of
Southern California Edison Company (SCE), met with Kevin Coughlan, advisor to
Pres. Peevey, in San Francisco. Foster expressed concern regarding the
proposed decision (PD) of ALJ Pulsifer on the Switching Exemption for direct
access customers. Foster stated that, at the least, customers taking advantage
of the safe harbor provision contained in the PD should have to pay the full
incremental cost of serving them. Foster noted that the incremental cost could
be substantially higher than the short-term power cost used in the PD. Foster
further stated that the minimum term for returning to bundled service should be
five years.

LATE FILED. On March 10, 2003, Brian Cherry, Directory of Regulatory
Relations, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), met with Kevin Coughlan,
advisor to Pres. Peevey, in San Francisco. Also present were Willima Stock,
Chief, Regulatory Relations, and Dennis Keane, Manager, Service Analysis, for
PG&E. Keane explained that both Modesto and Merced Irrigation Districts
provide selective service in areas where they have the opportunity, but not the
obligation, to serve (whereas, PG&E has the obligation). Keane noted that
ALJ's September 27, 2002 ruling denying CMUA's motion for summary disposition
rejected Modesto's argument that the Department of Water Resources (DWR) rate
agreement prevents the Commission from reaching a determination that customers
that come to be served by public agencies are obligated for DWR costs. Keane
explained that the record demonstrates that DWR assumed that IOUs would serve
new load in their service areas and did not net out any assumed loss of IOU
load to public agencies. Keane argued that, consistent with AB 117 and
D02-11-022 the DWR bond and power charges should be applied to all load
departing after either January 17, 2001, or February 1, 3001, and noted that
there is no policy reason for capping the charges to customers that depart to
public agencies.

Kennedy was a step in the right direction. However, Cragg urged the Commission
to consider expanding the exemption the alternate extended to clean and
ultra-clean self-generation to include customer generation powered by other
renewable energy sources. Cragg explained that the reasoning supporting the
exemption for clean and ultra-clean self-generation also justified an exemption
for renewable self-generation.

On March 10, 2002, Jeffrey P. Gray, counsel for the California Solar Industries
Association, met with Julie Fitch, advisor to Pres. Peevey, and Steven
Weissman, advisor to Cmmr. Wood, in two separate meetings in San Francisco.
Also present were Juliette Anthony of Sun Power, Kari Smith of Powerlight, and
Susan Stephenson of The Next Generation. A copy (attached to the notice) of
CalSEIA's reply comments on the Cmmr. Lynch's alternate was used during the
meeting with Steven Weissman. Gray commended the Peevey/Kennedy alternate for
recognizing that, absent an exemption from exit fees for distributed solar
generation, the policy initiatives of the Legislature to advance for further
development of clean, renewable solar generation will suffer a major setback.
Gray also explained that exempting net metered generation form exit fees is
fully consistent with AB 58 and other policies encouraging investment in solar
generation. Smith described the many benefits customer solar generation
provides to all ratepayers. Anthony explained that exempting all customer
solar generation from exit fees would increase costs to other ratepayers by
only a few cents a year. During the meeting with Steven Weissman, Gray also
noted with respect to Cmmr. Lynch's alternate, that revisions were necessary to
clearly and unambiguously exempt all customer solar generation from exit fees.

On March 5, 2003, Christopher J. Mayer, Assistant General Manager Planning and
Marketing, Modesto Irrigation District (Modesto), met with Cmmr. Wood in San
Francisco. Also present were Steven Weissman, advisor to Cmmr. Wood, and Joy
A. Warren, Modestos Senior Staff Attorney. Mayer and Warren explained that
Modesto may not provide electric service to retail customers within Pacific Gas
and Electric Companys (PG&E) territory except as defined in Section 9610; thus,
any customers departing PG&Es electric service to take service from Modesto
would be within Modestos own electric service area. Warren noted that pursuant
to the Rate Agreement decision adopted by the Commission, Modestos customers,
by definition, cannot be subject to bond charges. Mayer and Warren concluded
that no exit fees should be imposed upon the departing load within Modestos
statutory defined electric service area or load that departs PG&Es service to
take service from Modesto. However, Mayer and Warren also noted that should
the Commission attempt to impose such fees, they should be applied only
prospectively and any caps and/or exemptions applicable to other categories of
customers should be equally applicable to municipal departing load customers.

On March 3, 2002, Jeffrey P. Gray, counsel for the California Solar Industries
Association, met with David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, in San Francisco.
Also present were Juliette Anthony of Sun Power, Janice Lin of Powerlight, and
Susan Stephenson of The Next Generation. Gray commended both the Lynch
alternate and Peevey/Kennedy alternate for recognizing that, absent an
exemption from exit fees for distributed solar generation, the policy
initiatives of the Legislature to advance for further development of clean,
renewable solar generation will suffer a major setback. With respect to the
Lynch alternate, however, Gray noted that revisions were necessary to clarify
and unambiguously exempt all customer solar generation from exit fees. Lin
discussed the significant adverse impact the proposed decision, or any decision
that does not exempt all customer solar generation from exit fees, would have
on the solar industry. Anthony described the many benefits customer solar
generation provides to all ratepayers. Stephenson stated that exit fees on
customer solar generation would undermine the many legislative initiatives
encouraging investment in solar generation.

On February 19, 2002, Jeffrey P. Gray, counsel for the California Solar
Industries Association, met with Robert Kinosian, advisor to Cmmr. Lynch, in
San Francisco. Also present were Dough Linney of East Bay Municipal Utility
District, M. Todd Foley of BP Solar, Daniel Pellegrini and Scott D. Ragsdale of
Cooperative Community Energy, Dan Thompson and Juliette Anthony of Sun Power,
Janice Lin of Powerlight, Howard Wenger of AstroPower, and Mark Liffmann of
Solar Depot. Written material (attached to the notice) was used. Gray
commended the alternate for recognizing that, absent an exemption from exit
fees for distributed solar generation, the policy initiatives of the
Legislature to advance for further development of clean, renewable solar
generation will suffer a major setback. Linney, Foley, Pellegrini, Ragsdale,
Thompson, Anthony, Lin, Wenger, and Liffmann each explained how the failure to
exempt all customer solar generation from exit fees will create uncertainty in
the industry, harm customer investment in solar generation and potentially
undermine to goals of net metering. Wenger noted that any decision, which
fails to exempt all customer solar generation from exit fees, would be contrary
to the many legislative and administrative policies encouraging investment in
renewable generation. Thomson also noted that there was no reasonable basis to
put a cap on the amount of megawatts that would be exempt from exit fees nor to
distinguish between net metered and non-net metered customers for purposes of
applying exit fees. Anthony stated that exempting all distributed solar
generation from exit fees would amount to roughly a few cents a year for other
customers. Lin noted that the cost to implement and collect exit fees from
customer solar generation would far exceed the amount of fees that would be
collected from these customers.

Coalition (EPUC), Kimberly Clark and Goodrich Aerostructures Group, met with
Laura Krannawitter, advisor to Cmmr. Kennedy, in San Francisco. Also present
was Nora Sheriff, counsel to EPUC. Kahl and Sheriff reaffirmed support of the
proposed decision (PD) of ALJ Pulsifer and expressed concerns over the
alternate of Cmmr. Lynch. Kahl and Sheriff emphasized that the cap for
exemptions from the California Department of Water Resources (CDWR) forward
costs applies to MW of load leaving the grid, not to the size of the generator.
Referring to the alternate, Kahl noted that the decision would have adverse
effects both on projects that were constructed at the urging of the State and
have begun development and on future project development. Kahl further noted
that the PD provides ample opportunity for CDWR forward cost exemption for the
amount of clean/super-clean projects. Kahl and Sheriff urged the adoption of
the PD and the rejection of the alternate.

Affairs - California, and Richard Marcogliese, Senior Vice President, Refining
operation, representing Valero Energy Corporation (Valero). Folwarkow and
Marcogliese reminded the Commission that the Valero developed a 48 MW
cogeneration unit in the midst of the energy crisis. Folwarkow and Marcogliese
stated that had Valero been award of the scope of exit fees for Customer
Generation that are contemplated in the alternate of Cmmr. Lynch, Valero may
have chosen not to proceed with the project. Folwarkow and Marcogliese stated
further that the adoption of the alternate could result in deferral of an
additional 50 MW of generation planned at the Valero refinery. Kahl noted that
other companies within EPUC had similar situations, and that it was possible
that the adoption of the alternate could result in the shutdown of existing
Customer Generation facilities and terminate plans for future development. The
parties urged the adoption of the proposed decision of ALJ Pulsifer and the

Description:
On February 18, 2003, Christopher J. Mayer, Assistant General Manager Planning
and Marketing, Modesto Irrigation District (Modesto), met with Cmmr. Brown and
Kevin Coughlan, advisor to Pres. Peevey, in two separate meetings in San
Francisco. At the meeting with Cmmr. Brown also present was David Gamson,
advisor to Cmmr. Brown. Joy A. Warren, Modestos Senior Staff Attorney,
participated in both meetings. Mayer and Warren explained that Modesto may not
provide electric service to retail customers within Pacific Gas and Electric
Companys (PG&E) territory except as defined in Section 9610; thus, any
customers departing PG&Es electric service to take service from Modesto would
be within Modestos own electric service are. Warren noted that pursuant to the
Rate Agreement decision adopted by the Commission, Modesto?s customers, by
definition, cannot be subject to bond charges. Mayer and Warren also discussed
the application of cost recovery surcharges to new load not previously existing
in Modestos service area, noting that application of such charges to such new
load would appear very much like a tax. Mayer and Warren concluded that no
exit fees should be imposed upon the departing load within Modestos statutory
defined electric service area; however, should the Commission attempt to impose
such fees, they should be applied only prospectively and any caps and/or
exemptions applicable to other categories of customers should be equally
applicable to municipal departing load customers.

in the proceeding is that all customers should pay their fair share of costs
incurred by the Department of Water Resources (DWR), but PG&E acknowledges that
the State has provided various incentives to distributed generation and that
there may therefore be an argument in favor of some limited exemption from the
DWR charges. Rubin also outlined how the settlement agreement on distributed
generation issues represents a fair outcome. With respect to the applicability
of the settlement agreement to net metering customers, Rubin stated that the
settling parties had disagreed on the appropriate treatment, but had agreed to
address this question through the Advice Letters.

On January 27, 2002, Edward W. ONeill, counsel for the California Solar Energy
Industries Association, attended an all-party meeting with Cmmr. Brown in San
Francisco. Also present were David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, Gordon
Handelsman of Shell Solar, Kari Smith, Manager of Regulatory Affairs of
PowerLight Corporation, and other attendees listed on the attachment to the
notice. Handelsman stated that California policy has long supported renewable
energy through legislation and incentive programs and that these policies and
programs should not be undermined through the imposition of exit fees.
Handelsman further stated that there is no equitable or economic justification
for imposing such fees since customers who invest in solar generation provide
numerous long-term benefits to all ratepayers and the cost that would be
imposed on other customers if renewable generation is exempt from exit fees
would be minuscule. ONeill added that the impact on rates of customers who do
not install their own generation would be much less if the Commission limited
the exemption from exit fees to customers who install renewable generation.
Smith added that most customers who install solar generating facilities do so
to meet only a small percentage of their electric requirements and generally
draw up to 90% of their requirements from the utility grid. Smith explained
that, as a result, such customers will continue to pay all of the same fees and
charges for Department of Water Resources-related and utility-related
generation costs as other bundled service customers.

Billy Blattner, CPUC Relations Manager, Sempra Energy Utilities. A list of
additional participants was maintained by Cmmr. Brown?s office. Ward stated
that SDG&E agrees that customer generation departing load should not the
Department of Water Resources (DWR) forward power costs but opposes the
settlement because it provides for an unjustified discounted DWR bond charge
(72%) to settling parties. Ward urged the Commission to reject the settlement
to avoid shifting costs to bundled customers. Ward noted that SDG&E is
supportive of distributed generation but that policy changes should occur by
legislation, not by settlement. Ward emphasized that the reserves are part and
parcel of the bond issues. Szymanksi concluded that the settlement in not in
the public interest nor consistent with the law.

Trowbridge summarized Merced's irrigation district departing load exit fee
proposal. Krause explained that the power purchase and sales agreement between
Merced and PG&E for the output from Merced's hydroelectric power generation
facility will terminate in 2014 and described the steps Merced has taken to
develop its electric services operations with the goal of maximizing the
benefits of the facility for the eastern Merced County. Krause explained that
Merced believes customers who received power from the California Department of
Water Resources in 2001 have an obligation to pay for that power via a bond
charge rate. Krause also stated Merced's belief that irrigation district
departing load should pay Tail CTC in accordance with existing law and that
such customers should not be subject to the Power Charge. Trowbrige noted
relevant precedent concerning the alleged potential for exodus from
investor-owned utilities to irrigation districts if a Power Charge is not
assessed irrigation district departing load.

advisor to Cmmr. Wood, and Dr. Robert Barham, Assistant Chief of the Stationary
Source Division, Michael Tollstrup, Chief of the Project Assessment Branch, and
Dr. Alan Lloyd, Chairman, for the Air Resources Board. McFarland discussed how
federal and state laws and policies on energy and air issues have often worked
against each other and the need for a comprehensive approach to promote the
cleanest and most efficient distributed generation. McFarland suggested that
the Commission provide an exemption of the proposed settlement agreement's
annual cap and also discounted exit fees based on performance that would
include a reduced portion of the Department of Water Resources past costs along
with public benefit and nuclear decommissioning charges. McFarland indicated
that if the Commission chose to promote the ultra-clean and low-emission
distributed generation technologies, then it would send a strong signal that
air and energy issues are being addressed comprehensively and that there is a
real market for the cleanest and most efficient distributed technologies in
California.

Foley stated that photovoltaic (PV) generation offers significant public
benefits and has been supported by legislative and the Commission regulations
designed to promote customer investment in on-site PV. Foley stated further
that these benefits would be adversely affected by the imposition of a
departing load fee. Smith added that while Assembly Bill 1X suspended direct
access, it did not similarly suspend incentives to encourage customer
investment in renewable distributed generation. Smith stated that imposing
additional utility fees and charges on PV customers at this time would be
contrary to the intent of recently enacted California state policy designed to
promote the expanded installation and use of renewable technologies.

Alliance for Retail Energy Markets (AREM), met with Kevin Coughlan, advisor to
Cmmr. Peevey, and David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, in two separate
meetings in San Francisco. At the meeting with Kevin Coughlan also present was
Lynne McGhee, advisor to Cmmr. Duque. Mona Petrochko of Constellation New
Energy and Dan Douglass, counsel to AREM, participated in both meetings. A
written communication (attached to the notice) was subsequently sent on October
31, 2002 by electronic mail to Kevin Coughlan, Lynne McGhee and David Gamson.
AREM representatives urged that the Commission adopt a cap no higher than 2.7
cents/kWh and that the definition of continuous customers should include
customers that were involuntarily returned by their ESP prior to the normal
expiration date of their contract. AREM representatives also suggested that
the exit fees should be on a uniform statewide basis, rather than on a
utility-specific basis.

LATE FILED. On October 31, 2002, Dr. Barbara Barkovich representing the
California Large Energy Consumers Association (CLECA) had a telephone contact
with David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown. Barkovich discussed the workings of
the Total Portfolio Cost model. Barkovich expressed concerns about the use of
any methodology that blended the utility retained generation costs of the three
utilities or attempted to create cross-subsidies in the development of the CRS
among the customers of the three utilities. Barkovich noted that the Total
Portfolio Cost model does create a high CRS for San Diego Gas & Electric
Company because of its heavy dependence on power from the Department of Water
Resources.

Coughlan, advisor to Cmmr. Peevey, and Robert Kinosian, advisor to Pres. Lynch,
in four separate meetings in San Francisco. At the meeting with Cmmr. Duque
also present was Lynne McGhee, advisor to Cmmr. Duque. Michael R. Hoover,
Director of Regulatory Policy and Affairs, SCE, participated in all the
meetings. Foster and Hoover discussed the Direct Access (DA) exit fee and,
among other things, stated that the Department of Water Resources (DWR)-related
exit fee for San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) DA customers must reflect
the fact that a substantially higher percentage of the load the DWR expected to
serve in SDG&E's service territory switched to DA. Foster and Hoover argued
that in no way should the Commission set a precedent for a uniform cents per
kWh statewide allocation of DWR costs. Foster and Hoover also suggested that
the Commission needs to address exit fees for municipalization, distributed
generation, and municipal aggregation.

On October 31, 2002, Bill Reed, Senior Vice President Regulatory Affairs of

Duque, in San Francisco. Also present were Lynne McGhee, advisor to Cmmr.
Duque, and Lee Schavrien, Vice President, and Leslie Katz, Regional Vice
President, Regulatory Affairs, for SEU. Schavrien stated that San Diego Gas &
Electric Company (SDG&E) proposed a levelized, hybrid
statewide/utility-specific exit fee, that would preserve bundled customer
indifference, eliminate regional disparities that could kill direct access, and
total 2.7 cents/kWh when combined with the bond charge and CTC rate. Schavrien
suggested that if the Commission were to adopt the hybrid exit fee without
levelization, the exit fee would equal 2.7 cents/kWh in the first year.
Schavrien stated that although the proposed and alternate decisions prioritize
collection of bond and CTC charges below exit fee, these charges are
non-bypassable. Schavrien also noted that SDG&E does not have headroom to
cover these charges. Reed pointed out Commission precedent for a hybrid
approach. Schavrien stated that using a utility-specific exit fee, SDG&E
cannot collect its existing unbundled CTC rate under any of the proposed caps
and that this distinction is unique to SDG&E as the only utility to have an
unbundled CTC rate.

Schavrien stated that San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) is only able to
make a rough calculation at the present time, but it appears that there would
be a very significant reduction in the undercollection borne by SDG&E bundled
customers if Department of Water Resources costs are calculated on a statewide
basis and utility-retained generation costs are utility-specific.

Booth, Barkovich and Yap distributed tables that display the effect of various
cap levels and interest rates on the level of undercollection and the timing of
full recovery of all identified exit fees. Barkovich and Booth cautioned
against excessive reliance on the estimates set forth on the tables given that
the figures are driven by a variety of assumptions and variables that have not

summarize PG&E's analysis of the direct access (DA) surcharge issues, and
explained that the results are very dependent on the assumptions made. Huffman
noted further that, while an estimate of the 2003 DA Department of Water
Resources (DWR) surcharge may not be too sensitive to long-range planning
assumptions, the estimate of future year DA DWR surcharge is likely to be
sensitive to those assumptions. Barry and Burns clarified the assumptions that
PG&E used in its modeling.

Vice President, and Billy Blattner, CPUC Relations Manager, for Sempra Energy
Utilities (SEU), Jeff Trace, Business and Economics Advisor, for SDG&E, and
other attendees. Ward explained that under a 2.7 cents/kWh cap, it would take
until 2025 for direct access (DA) customers in SDG&E's service territory to pay
all Department of Water Resources (DWR) costs and until 2032 to pay all CTC
costs, resulting in a maximum undercollection of $460 million in 2011. Ward
asserted that a cap of 3.6 cents/kWh would be necessary to pay off all costs in
15 years, resulting in a maximum undercollection of $310 million. Ware
explained that these figures are based on a utility-specific rather than
statewide exit fee. Ward also indicated that SDG&E's CTC recovery delay was
due to the fact that, under a capped, utility-specific DA exit fee, SDG&E would
be unable to collect any of its remaining tail CTC for a number of years.

consultant to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), met with
Kevin Coughlan, advisor to Cmmr. Peevey, in an all-party meeting in San
Francisco. Also present were Peter Hanson and Belinda Gatti, advisors to Cmmr.
Brown, Manuel Ramirez and Steve Weissman, advisors to Cmmr. Wood, Lynne McGhee,
advisor to Cmmr. Duque, and Andrew Ulmer, counsel for DWR. DWR representatives
identified the following major differences between the assumptions contained in
the models presented by Navigant and Henwood Energy Services, Inc. (Henwood):
the forecast of prices obtained by DWR for off-system sales, capacity additions
in 2003 and future years, gas price forecasts and load forecasts. DWR
representatives explained that DWR could not provide a detailed comparison
because the assumptions underlying the model of Henwood had not been disclosed.

THIS IS AN AUGMENTED NOTICE OF AN EX PARTE COMMUNICATION THAT WAS FILED ON
October 17, 2002 AND APPEARED IN THE CALENDAR OF OCTOBER 30, 2002. On October
15, 2002, William Booth, counsel for the California Large Energy Consumers
Association, attended an all-party meeting with Cmmr. Duque in San Francisco.
Also present was Laura Krannawitter, advisor to Cmmr. Duque. Written material
(attached to the notice) was used. Booth stated it is not possible to set a
uniform state-wide indifference fee for the direct access (DA) customers.
Booth stated that the fee must be differentiated by utility because the total
portfolio method adopted in the proposed decision (PD) looks to both the
utility generation assets and the Department of Water Resources contracts, and
a uniform fee would require the use of one utility's generation assets to in
effect subsidize the fee to be paid by a DA customers situated in another
utility's service territory. Booth advocated a 'backcast' approach to
establishment of the indifference fee. Booth stated that the PD's proposal to
forecast a fee for one year in advance and then to perform a true-up would
involve a great deal of modeling work. Booth urged the use of a simpler
approach. Booth also explained that while the combination of exit fees are
certain to exceed a 2.7 cent cap in 2003, that is not a surprise nor should be
alarming.

(DA) customer on the San Diego Gas & Electric Company system continuously from
July 2000 to the present. Leslie noted that Callaway has never relied upon
purchase from the Department of Water Resources (DWR). Leslie stated that
Callaway supports the treatment of continuous DA customers that is recommended
in the proposed decision and the alternates of Cmmr. Wood, Cmmr. Peevey and
Pres. Lynch. Leslie indicated that continuous DA customers such as Callaway
should be exempt from all DWR exit fees, including both bond-related costs and
ongoing purchased power costs.

Leslie Katz, Regional Vice President, Regulatory Affairs, for SEU. Written
materials (attached to the notice) were used. Katz stated that both the
proposed decision and the alternate are patently unfair to SDG&E's customers
and they are illegal because they would require the utilities to finance a
substantial undercollection of amounts owed to the Department of Water
Resources. Schavrien stated that the magnitude of such a utility-financed
undercollection could jeopardize the financial integrity of SDG&E. Schavrien
also described the harsh and inequitable consequences of a utility-specific
exit fee for SDG&E's customers, which could total an estimated $600 million
under a 2.7 cent cap. Schavrien stated that the record supports a statewide
levelized cost responsibility surcharge.

Also present were Laura Krannawitter, advisor to Cmmr. Duque, Bill Stock,
Chief, Regulatory Relations, for PG&E, and other attendees listed on the
attachment to the notice. Huffman stated that PG&E generally supports the
proposed decision, more specifically, PG&E agrees that a surcharge cap needs to
be in place, and that the current record is not strong enough to create a basis
for a specific cap. Huffman suggested to hold expedited workshops to develop
an appropriate record in this regard. Regarding any shortfall in the
surcharge, Huffman stated that PG&E cannot finance such a shortfall and that
here, too, the record does not provide a clear basis for determining an
appropriate interest rate for such financing. Huffman stated that costs were
incurred to keep the system operation; therefore, all should share
responsibility for these costs.

On October 15, 2002, Thomas Beach of the consulting firm Crossborder Energy
represented the California Manufacturers & Technology Association (CMTA) at an
all-party meeting with Cmmr. Duque in San Francisco. Beach referred to the
proposed decision (PD) of ALJ Pulsifer and stated that the CLECA method will
meet the Commission?s goal of designing an exit fee that keeps bundled
ratepayers indifferent to a September 20, 2001 suspension date for direct
access (DA). Beach also stated that CMTA also supports the PD?s adoption of a
"true-up" to reflect actual Department of Water Resources costs. Beach
expressed CMTA's concern that the CLECA method is very complex and argued that
using the CLECA method based only on a backcast would simplify the
implementation. Beach commented that the PD misapplies the CMTA approach to
calculate the "Tail CTC" component of the CLECA exit fee. Beach also noted
that the 2.7 c/k Wh cap is the highest cap that will preserve a significant
amount of DA load. Beach stated that CMTA supports the Edison/CLECA idea to
use DA customer's share of the additional $3.3 B in bond proceeds to fund at
least a portion of the DA exit fee covering October 2001 through December 2002.
Beach also stated that CMTA supports Cmmr. Brown's alternate in the bond charge
case.

date for direct access (DA). Beach also stated that CMTA also supports the PD's
adoption of a 'true-up' to reflect actual Department of Water Resources (DWR)
costs. However, Beach expressed CMTA's concern that the CLECA method is very
complex and argued that the CMTA's method also would produce ratepayer
indifference, and would be much simpler to administer. Beach also commented
that the PD misapplies the CMTA approach to calculate the 'Tail CTC' component
of the CLECA exit fee. Beach pointed out a problem with the PD's adoption of a
flat 2.7 cents per kWh 'cap' on the DA exit fee. Beach argued that an
alternate is needed to address these methodological issues.

On October 9, 2002, Michael R. Hoover, Director of Regulatory Policy and
Affairs at Southern California Edison Company (SCE), met with Laura
Krannawitter, advisor to Cmmr. Duque, in San Francisco. Written materials
(attached to the notice) were used. Hoover stated that the proposed decision
(PD) needs to clearly specify the Commission's intent that SCE's 1c/kWh
Historical Procurement Charge will be collected under any direct access (DA)
Cost Responsibility Surcharge (CRS) cap. Hoover stated further that under the
2.7 c/kWh CRS cap contained in the PD, there will be a significant
undercollection in the early years of recovery. Hoover suggested that this
undercollection needs to be financed by bundled service customers in SCE's
territory. Hoover also noted that, assuming a fifteen year amortization period
and a reasonable rate of interest on the undercollection, it is not likely that
the undercollection in the yearly years can be recovered under the 2.7c/kWh CRS
cap.

Also present was Bill Stock, Chief, Regulatory Relations, for PG&E. Huffman
stated that PG&E generally supports the proposed decision (PD), more
specifically, PG&E agrees that a surcharge cap needs to be in place, and that
the current record is not strong enough to create a basis for a specific cap.
Huffman suggested to hold expedited workshops to develop an appropriate record
in this regard. Regarding any shortfall in the surcharge, Huffman stated that
PG&E cannot finance such a shortfall and that here, too, the record does not
provide a clear basis for determining an appropriate interest rate for such
financing. Huffman also noted that regarding bond charges, the PD correctly
concludes that operational reserves may be used in future years to cover
operational costs if they are no longer needed to cover bond reserves.

purchase from the Department of Water Resources (DWR). Leslie stated that
Callaway supports the treatment of continuous DA customers that is recommended

Leslie Katz, Regional Vice President, and Billy Blattner, CPUC Relations
Manager, for Sempra Energy Utilities. Morrow stated that SDG&E cannot support
either the proposed decision (PD) or the alternate. Morrow stated that both
the PD and the alternate are patently unfair to SDG&E's customers. Morrow
argued that the PD is illegal because it would require the utilities to finance
a substantial undercollection of amounts owed to the Department of Water
Resources. Morrow described the harsh and inequitable consequences of a
utility-specific exit fee for SDG&E's customers which could total an estimated
17 cents/kWh. Morrow stated that the solution is to adopt a statewide
levelized exit fee.

On October 7, 2002, William Booth, counsel for the California Large Energy
Consumers Association (CLECA), met with Kevin Coughlan, advisor to Cmmr.
Peevey, in San Francisco. Also present was Dr. Barbara Barkovich, consultant
to CLECA. Written materials (attached to the notice) were used. With respect
to the bond charge proposed decision (PD), Booth stated that the exemption of
residential sales below 130% of baseline from participation in the bond charge
recovery is very problematic. With respect to the direct access (DA) fee PD,
Booth stated that there are several matters that could be improved. Booth and
Dr. Barkovich stated that the PD appears to be little confused about the nature
of the information that will be available from the Department of Water
Resources' revenue requirement showing and that it leaves the impression that
DA customers may have to pay a pro rata share of such costs. Dr. Barkovich
discussed a number of implementation issues having to do with the adjustments
necessary to the Navigant model to allow calculation of an indifference fee for
the prospective periods. Booth suggested that it may prove less difficult to
estimate the fee using a backcast for a 12-month recorded period.

stated that while the issues in this proceeding are complex, it is possible to
reach a reasonable conclusion with respect to the direct access (DA) fee.
Booth urged the Commission to provide as much specificity as possible in the
decision so that the task of implementing the fees through workshops might be
simplified. Booth expressed a preference for use of a 'backcast' method of
developing the indifference fee for the 15-month period ending 12/31/02 and for
future periods. Booth also discussed the appropriate cap on all of the exit
fee for DA customers. Booth stated that while the combination of exit fees are
certain to exceed a 2.7 cent cap in 2003, that is not a surprise nor should be
alarming.

resolute in not allowing it to be pushed any higher. Carroll also urged that
the alternate decision be issued which would take account of the usage of
residential customers below 130% of baseline in calculating the historical
exist fees. Carroll noted that the proposed decision (PD) does not state a
specific percentage of spot price to be realized by DWR off-system power sales
to be assumed in calculating exit fees each year. Carroll also addressed the
issue of double counting which might occur due to the PD's determination to
collect historical exit fees through the bond charge.

referred to CMUA's motion for summary disposition and explained that CMUA
believes that the CPUC lacks the authority and jurisdiction to impose costs on
customers of publicly owned utilities, and that the PCUC should, as a matter of
law, summarily dispose of the issue. Blaising urged the Commission to address

participated Manuel Ramirez, advisor to Cmmr. Wood. Field stated that Clarus'
distributed generation units were as much as 80% efficient in their use of
their thermal energy output for purposes of their customers? thermal energy
needs. Field asserted that an exit fee should not be imposed on distributed
generation customers. Guzman stated that distributed generation provides a
number of important benefits to California. Field stated that if the
Commission determined that exit fees should be imposed on distributed
generation customers, such fees should be offset by the quantifiable net
benefits provided by distributed generation.

Manager-Planning and Marketing, met with Cmmr. Lynch in an all-party meeting in
San Francisco. Also present were Aaron Johnson, advisor to Cmmr. Lynch, and
other attendees listed on the attachment to the notice. Mayer stated that MID
is concerned about previous statements of Pacific Gas and Electric Company and
Southern California Edison Company requesting that any California Department of
Water Resources (CDWR) direct access exit fee also be extended to departing
load customers, including electric customers served by irrigation districts.
Mayer pointed out that the Commission has already decided this matter by the
manner in which it defined energy service provider in the CDWR rate agreement
decision. Mayer stated further that aside from that issue, MID has no position
on the alternatives for suspension of direct access.

Wood, a letter (attached to the notice). At the meeting with Cmmr. Wood also
present were Linda Serizawa and Steve Weissman, advisors to Cmmr. Wood, and
Sean Casey, analyst, and Jim Scarff, counsel, for ORA. Casey described ORA's
long-standing policy favoring customer choice at the retail level. Scarff
characterized the choice facing the Commission between the draft decision and
the alternate as a choice between two risky options. Scarff stated that the
risks to ratepayers associated with trying to terminate direct access contracts
as of July of last year were greater than the risks that the Commission would
be unable to impose equitable exit fees on current direct access customers.
Scarff noted that the Commission?s action in approving cost recovery in the
Southern California Edison Company's settlement was analogous to the past cost
recovery implicit in the exit fees being contemplated here. ORA explained that
the Commission is better off dealing with the exit fees now.

On March 15, 2002, John Leslie, attorney for Callaway Golf Company (Callaway),
attended an all-party meeting with Cmmr. Lynch in San Francisco. Also present
were parties listed on the attachment to the notice. Leslie stated that
Callaway has been a direct access customer on the San Diego Gas & Electric
Company's system from July 2000 to the present. Leslie noted that Callaway
commenced direct access service under a one-year contract with an electric
service provider (ESP) in July 2000and that in April 2001, Callaway entered
into a direct access agreement with a new ESP. Leslie stated that Callaway
opposes ALJ's draft decision (DD) and explained that it potentially could be
read to negatively affect direct access customers, such as Callaway, that have
never purchased any power from the State Department of Water Resources (DWR).
Leslie also stated that the DD could affect pre-July 1, 2001 direct access
customers, such as Callaway, that switched ESPs after July 1, 2001. Leslie
stated that Callaway supports Cmmr. Brown?s alternate. Leslie noted, however,
that the alternate should be modified to allow new load of direct access
customers to be served under direct access to the extent such incremental load
is permitted under the direct access contract.

Utility Reform Network's constitutional arguments regarding the contract clause
ignored the fact that in cases involving government-private contracts, the
government treasury was at issue, which is what is also true with respect to
retroactive suspension of direct access. Carroll explained that in cases where
the government treasury is at issue, strict scrutiny is required. Carroll also
registered CIU's opposition to Southern California Edison Company's (Edison)
effort to implement Edison's Historical Procurement Charge issue into this
proceeding.

service providers (ESPs) in late 2001 and early 2001. Booth stated that some
of those companies are engaged in litigation with ESPs over that action. Boot
urged the Commission to adopt September 20, 2001 as a qualification date for
direct access customers and to embark on a process of determining appropriate
direct access exit fees. Boot stated that CLECA would not challenge the
Commission's authority to levy such fees, but might, if confronted with
inappropriate or unsupportable fees, challenge the manner in which the exit
fees were calculated.

Description:
On March 15, 2002, John Leslie, attorney for Callaway Golf Company (Callaway),
met with David Gamson and Peter Hanson, advisors to Cmmr. Brown, in San
Francisco. Also present were Michael Rider, Senior Vice President and
Assistant General Counsel, and Tom Macias, Vice President, Facilities
Operations, for Callaway. Comments filed by Callaway were used. Rider stated
that Callaway has been a direct access customer on the San Diego Gas & Electric
Company's system from July 2000 to the present. Macias noted that in April
2000, Callaway entered into a one-year contract with an electric service
provider (ESP) and that in April 2001, Callaway entered into a direct access
agreement with a new ESP. Leslie stated that Callaway opposes ALJ's draft
decision (DD) and explained that it potentially could be read to negatively
affect direct access customers, such as Callaway, that have never purchased any
power from the State Department of Water Resources (DWR). Leslie also stated
that the DD could affect pre-July 1, 2001 direct access customers, such as
Callaway, that switched ESPs after July 1, 2001. Rider explained that if the
Commission were to terminate Callaway's direct access agreement, the Company's
increased electricity costs would negatively affect Callaway's ability to
compete. Leslie stated that Callaway supports Cmmr. Brown?s alternate. Leslie
noted, however, that the alternate should be modified to allow new load of
direct access customers to be served under direct access to the extent such
incremental load is permitted under the direct access contract. Referring to
`exit fees,' Leslie asked for clarification that the Commission will address
the issue of whether customers that never have purchased power from DWR should
be exempt from exit fees.

Relations Administrator of Sempra. Leslie Katz, Regional Vice President of
Sempra, participated in the meeting via telephone. Schavrien stated that
Sempra supports the Cmmr. Brown alternate as a legally sound and regulatory
consistent approach to suspending direct access as of September 20, 2001. Katz
explained that the ALJ?s draft decision would retroactively suspend direct
access in violation of the Constitution, black letter law and CPUC regulations.
Blattner explained that the alternate includes language adopting exit fees or
charges to ensure that direct access customers pay their fair share of
Department of Water Resources costs.

departing load customers, including electric customers served by irrigation
districts. Mayer pointed out that the Commission has already decided this

existing direct access customers who lose their ESP must be returned to utility

On February 15, 2002 at 2:00 p.m., at the CPUC in San Francisco, the following
persons representing the California Large Energy Consumers Association [CLECA]
met with Commissioner Duque and his Advisor, Laura Krannawitter; Kevin
Coughlan, Advisor to Commissioner Bilas, and David Gamson, Advisor to
Commissioner Brown, at an all-party meeting also attended by those persons
listed on the sign-in sheet attached to the Notice, to wit: William H. Booth,
Esq. Mr. Booth stated CLECA's support for Commissioner Brown's Alternate Draft
Decision on suspension of direct access.He took issue with TURN that Commission
suspension of direct access effective July 1, 2001 would not constitute
retroactive action because July 1 follows the date of enactment of AB 1X; that
the action at issue is the Commission?s action to implement the statute
pursuant to the Legislature's delegation to set the date of suspension, and a
decision now to suspend effective July 1, 2001 would clearly amount to
retroactive suspension. Mr. Booth also stated that counsel for TURN speculates
when he asserts that the level of direct access exit fees will be very large;
that neither TURN nor any other party presently knows the level of exit fees
that will represent the appropriate cost responsibility of direct access
customers and that the Commission will only be able to establish the same
following evidentiary hearings, which have not yet been held. Finally, Mr.
Booth urged Commissioner Duque to consider reconciling the language in the
Alternate Draft Decision with respect to assignments, transfer between ESPs and
termination dates. He suggested that the Commission simply use September 20,
2001 as the date for establishing the set of customers eligible to engage in
direct access prospectively.

Mr. Carroll stated CIU's
support for Commissioner Brown's Alternate Draft Decision, and stated that
TURN's constitutional arguments regarding the contract clause ignored the fact
that in cases involving government-private contracts, the government treasury
was at issue, which is also true with respect to retroactive suspension of
direct access. In cases where the government treasury is at issue, strict
scrutiny is required.
Mr. Carroll also registered CIU's opposition to Edison's
overreaching effort to import Edison's Historical Procurement Charge issue,
which was only recently heard in another proceeding and which is still in the
briefing stage, into this proceeding.

Timber Company (Simpson) met with Cmmr. Bilas. Also present were Kevin
Coughlan and Julie Fitch, advisors to Cmmr. Bilas; Jackson Mueller of Simpson;
and Jerry Bloom and Lisa Cottle of White & Case, LLP, Simpson's outside
counsel. Simpson representatives urged the Commission not to vote to suspend
direct access service retroactively, as the proposed decision would do.
Simpson representatives explained that adopting a July 1, 2001 suspension date
would abrogate Simpson's existing direct access contract and would have a
serious adverse economic impact on Simpson's operations. Simpson's
representatives also commented that the Commission should make every attempt
not to impose exit fees on direct access customers.

LATE FILED. On February 4, 2002, Art Gallucci, City Manager of the City of
Cerritos (City), met with David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, and Cmmr. Wood
in two separate meetings in San Francisco. In the meeting with Cmmr. Wood also
participated Linda Serizawa and Steven Weissman, advisors to Cmmr. Wood. Also
present was Scott Blaising, special counsel for the City. Written materials
(attached to the notice) were used. Gallucci explained that the draft decision
would eliminate the possibility of the City using direct access to deliver
energy from the proposed Magnolia Power Project to the City's residents and
businesses. Gallucci indicated that a decision disallowing pre-existing
arrangements, such as Cerritos' community aggregation program, could
potentially delay or suspend development of the Magnolia Power Project.

On February 5, 2002, Rick Gittings, City Manager of the City of San Marcos
(City), had a telephone conference with David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown.
Karl Schwarm, Administrative Analyst, and Susie Berlin, Counsel, for the City;
and Glenn Prentice, Director of Utilities, George Hanson, Power Utilities
Manager, and Lisa Urick, Counsel, representing the City of Corona, also
participated in the conference. The City representatives stated that it is
concerned that the draft decision fails to address how time and efforts
invested in the community aggregation program will be handled, should
retroactive suspension be adopted and community aggregation programs be shut
down. The City representatives explained the distinction between its community
aggregation program and direct access as an energy service provider. The City
representatives stated that it is not opposed to the appropriate exit fees.
The City representatives questioned whether any further action with regard to
the implementation of direct access should not be tabled until such time as the
Commission has fully explored what an appropriate exit fee should be.

consequences. Katz explained further that if a contract between parties
contained the right to assign or extend, that right must be preserved. Katz
also asserted that if cost shifting is demonstrated and exit fees are
implemented, those fees should be based on cost causation principles.

On February 5, 2002, Lisa Urick, Counsel to the City of Corona (Corona),
participated in a conference call to David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown.
Also participated Glenn Prentice, Director of Utilities, George Hanson, Power
Utilities Manager, for Corona, and Rick Gittings, City Manager, Karl Schwarm,
Administrative Analyst, and Susie Berlin, Counsel, for the City of San Marcos.
Corona representatives explained that retroactive suspension would wipe out
Corona's investments in the program. Corona representatives stated that
appropriate exit fees can be adopted, as necessary, to address the draft
decision's (DD) policy concern of cost shifting. Prentice emphasized that
Corona is facing a grave risk of losing businesses located in the City due to
high electricity rates. Hanson stated that Corona's overriding concern is to
eliminate the retroactive suspension aspect of the DD. Hanson indicated that,
ideally, Corona would like to continue adding facilities under its direct
access program.

support the proposed decision suspending all direct access transactions

post-July 2001 customers to remain on direct access would result in massive
cost shifting that would raise rates for customers remaining with the utility.
